Lactation support after Maternity discharge requires a lot of strategies. Our experience in Lactation Clinic is presented. A retrospective analysis about the patients evaluated between 2005-2007 is shown. Mothers with detected problems in achieving effective lactation were scheduled to come to the Maternity area 48 hours after the discharge .The evolution in the lactogenesis, and the effective suction was analyzed in a planified form. 56% of the scheduled new borns continued with exclusive lactation wether 23% needed new evaluation. New borns began gaining weight after the fourth day of life with an average increment of 41 g per day
